Guest Reviewer: Stacey- Il Corallo Trattoria

Il Corallo Trattoria
Price: $
Stars: **1/2 

Il Corallo Trattoria is an Italian restaurant on Prince St. in Soho. The menu is quite extensive. It took our party nearly twenty minutes to browse through the selections of pasta. I had difficulty deciding on an item even with the vast array of dishes offered. My main complaint about Il Corallo is that it does not offer a simple pasta dish. I would have liked something hearty like a bolognese sauce or baked ziti. I mean, what kind of restaurant doesn't have meat sauce?

I settled on the Fettuccine Buttera. The dish consisted of fresh fettuccine with spinach and italian sausage in a garlic olive oil sauce. The fettuccine was delicious. I could easily tell that the pasta is fresh and made daily. Unfortunately, I did not taste any garlic in the dish whatsoever. I have a feeling that the chef added butter to the olive oil, making all other components of the dish rather bland. The fettuccine really saved this from being a disaster. I gave Il Corallo Trattoria **1/2 stars because of their low prices for a restaurant in Soho. It wasn't terrible, but I've personally had much better Italian food on Long Island.
